Which Fact And How?

Posted on September 28, 2022

You’re in a discussion and there is a dispute. Either you’re not looking at the same fact or you’re interpreting the fact differently.

It really helps to look at the same fact at the same time. Then you can discuss it from different perspectives. After that, consider the importance of that particular fact to each person. If it is weighed differently, it will be seen differently.

Finally, if someone changes the subject away from that one fact you’re engaging on, they may have realised your point is more valid but don’t want to admit it. Just smile inwardly.

Delegate When Possible

Posted on September 23, 2022

We’ve got a lot to do in our lives. So when possible, be sure to delegate tasks.

You already do this in a sense. Someone else probably grows your food. And a truck driver brings fuel to the pumps for your vehicle. You might even occasionally ask a partner, family member or friend to pick up something from the shops for you while they are there.

You have other people do lots of things for you. Figure out what else you can ask to have done to save your time. Then you can spend more of your time on the things you truly want to do.

Plan In Detail

Posted on September 20, 2022

You can start with a generalisation. When you imagine an amazing future or visualise the realisation of an incredible dream, it can be big and broad.

But then you need to get deeper into the detail. Like planning a holiday, you start with skiing, beach or camping and then add the key details next. You need to know where, with who, when and how. You’ll also need to know how much so you can have the right cards with you or funds in place.

After the big details are in place you need the next level details. You’ll need to know which airline, which gate, which row and which seat. Maybe even what to bring with you on board and what you can’t bring.

The more precise you can be with the details, the more likely you’ll get what you want. I understand Queen Elizabeth II was very keen on the details. She understood the importance of the slightest thing.

You don’t need to be royalty to dress and present yourself well. And focusing on the details can be done by anyone.

Upgrade your skills in this area. Put the effort in. If you’re currently a five in the detail department, learn how to become a six or even seven. Search it up on the internet. Watch some videos. Practice. Get better at it. Your life will improve in many areas and you’ll be surprised at the benefits you find around you.

Era’s End. And Also Begin.

Posted on September 19, 2022

The Queen’s passing marked the end of an exceptional era. I stood at the side of the road Monday and watched her cortege pass right in front of me. Like time, The Moment passed and more moments after that.

But time stops for no one. Things continue to progress. This happens whether you want the event in question to be happening or not.

It really did feel like the end of an era though. It has been an exceptional era that kept getting better. Many people did not want it to end or they believed it never really would.

The Queen was a common thread in a lot of people’s lives, both in the UK and around the world. This may have helped us feel more united in our grief and the uncertainty for the future.

Now our new future begins. With a new King, we will begin a new era. We don’t know how this era will go, nor do we know how it will end. But we do know a new one will begin after this new one. And on it will go.

Appreciate What People Do

Posted on September 18, 2022

It is so easy to gloss over people’s contribution or even ignore it or joke about it. You are a better person if you see someone’s contribution, no matter how large or small and regardless if you think it was enough or how you would do it or want it.

Give people some kudos. Do it as often as you can and for whatever you can.

Monday is a day people can do this when referencing The Queen. Appreciate all that she did and didn’t do to make the world a better place. Such leadership from a 26 year old woman, in a very different world in the 1950’s.

Your appreciation will make you and the world around you better. Find the good in people and things. You’ll be happier for it.

Believe In Yourself

Posted on September 14, 2022

Look what you have achieved so far in life! You’ve mastered walking, socialising, some sports, learning, reading, eating, toilet time, tests, exams, paying bills, earning an income, holding a job, dealing with stress and travelling somewhere new.

Of course, you’ve managed to do all sorts of other things too! And just because others have done it, doesn’t reduce the validity that you did it too.

You are an amazing group of cells doing quite exceptional, though sometimes mundane, things. Things a giraffe ? couldn’t even imagine doing. So well done!

Now everything else is quite simple. So go make it happen. I believe in you and you should too!

How Big Is The Problem You’re Solving?

Posted on September 11, 2022

Is it washing the dishes or just making it through the day? Do you want to have a job or maybe a longer term career? Would you like to solve climate, world hunger, global peace, space exploration or poverty?

Note how many hours per day you are actively progressing on your big problem. Are the daily “to do’s” getting in the way? How long have you kept telling yourself you’re doing something when you’re only thinking of doing it?

Stop telling people what should change and start making those changes happen. Don’t give yourself an easy ride filled with reasons and excuses and, “you don’t know how hard it is” comments.

Get uncomfortable. Mix things up. Make 10 phone calls. Make this happen.

Stop living small when you’re dreaming big. Take baby steps and then break into a run as soon as you can. Become Unstoppable. You too can change the world. Make it a problem worth committing to. Now go do it.

Keep People Updated

Posted on September 6, 2022

It takes a little more time but pays dividends. If you’re running behind schedule, let them know. If new relevant news is found, update the other parties.

Knowledge is power. Keeping it makes you more powerful. Sharing it makes everyone more powerful and effective.

More solutions are considered when more people have the information. A greater solution can appear from more minds working on the problem or with updated information.

Seek a better world for all, not just you or your desired few.

Don’t Give Up

Posted on September 5, 2022

Use all of your resources. Call a friend. Use an app. Open your mind to the impossible and the things you may not have considered. How else could you attack the situation? What would a super spy do? What would a super hero do in this situation?

Keep pressing forward quickly and you will find a very good, or much better, solution.

Just don’t give up. A good solution is out there. Find it.
